EMERGING PAST
Peering from a decoy, a
hunter lifts his head above
the waters of the Indus River
in Pakistan. Recent excava
tions reveal that in 3300 B.c .
the Bronze Age village of
Harappa was home to farm
ers, hunters, and fishermen.
Within seven centuries
Harappa rose to become one
of at least five urban centers
of the Indus civilization.
